The Lord Edward
Christschurch, Dublin. This institution is named after Lord Edward Fitzgerald
who was the 5th son of the Duke of Leinster. His Dublin Town House was Leinster House now the seat of our parliament. Lord Edward reached high rank in the English Army, and saw service in the American and West Indian Colonies. Because of his family background, he was given a seat in the Irish Parliament, which was housed in what is now the Head Office of the Bank of Ireland in College Green, Dublin.
He soon realized that this was a puppet parliament. He became disillusioned with their policy rigging, and soon came to the notice of The United Irishmen (Free Ireland Movement). Because of his military experience, he was appointed Captain in charge of their forces, and helped plan the Abortive Rebellion of 1798 against the Crown with
Robert Emmet , Wolfe Tone and Napper Tandy
Due to the ever present paid informer of the Crown in Ireland's long history of insurrection, Lord Edward was arrested in his hiding place in nearby Thomas Street, prior to the date fixed for the rebellion. In resisting arrest he was severely wounded, and later died of his wounds in Newgate Jail on the North side of the river Liffey. He was aged thirty-five. He is buried in St. Werburgh's Church across the road from the side entrance.
This is the first floor room. There's also a seafood restaurant in the place that's supposed to be very good, if somewhat pricey, but I've never been there. I won't have a bad word said about this place. No tv, no music, good pints. Quality. See large
